A review of CanaData's construction starts in 2012
When entering a new year, it's natural to look back over the previous 12 months and review what transpired. What we'll be examining in this article is 2012 construction starts.
It makes particular sense to pay attention to last year's starts because of the way construction actually unfolds. For many of the largest projects, on-site activity levels will carry over from 2012 into 2013 and maybe beyond. The time-lag between groundbreakings and completions has implications for labour and building product demand.
While there was significant year-over-year movement within some of the type-of-structure sub-categories, CanaData's total construction starts in 2012 were little changed from 2011. In total square footage — for residential plus non-residential building — the 2012 versus 2011 percentage change was -4.0%.
In total dollars, the percentage change was -13%. Dollar volumes include engineering work. (Civil work such as sewerage projects and fossil fuel pipelines can't be expressed in square footage.)
The decline for total square footage is likely to become slightly positive as additional projects are backdated into 2012 in early 2013. CanaData's researchers make continual updates to the data base. For the same reason, the dollar percentage decline will become less negative.
CanaData's residential square footage figure was flat (0%) year over year, while the dollars were +15%. The singles and doubles component of residential work is based on Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)'s home starts. Factors are applied for average square footage and dollars per square foot.
The multiples component of CanaData's residential numbers is built up from individual projects — similar to the rest of RCD's project database.
Total commercial starts were -8% in square feet and +15% in dollars. The dollar figures are likely to include renovation and alteration work that won't have a square footage component.
Institutional starts were -26% in square footage and -22% in dollars. The declines weren't unexpected, given the burst of government-sponsored projects that were brought forward to provide stimulus during the recession.
This doesn't mean there weren't any large institutional project start-ups in 2012. See the regional section several paragraphs down.
Industrial starts were +42% in square footage and +929% in dollars. The outsized increase in the dollar percentage change was thanks to one large project — Rio Tinto Alcan's aluminum smelter upgrade in British Columbia.
Total Canada engineering starts were -36% in 2012 versus 2013. There were several significant large energy project start-ups last year, but they fell short of the year before.
Let's look at some of the largest and/or most interesting projects to begin in the regions last year.
The Atlantic had only one relatively small project that made it onto the monthly "Top 10" lists in 2012. In 2013, however, there are sure to be some mega project starts in the region. For example, Newfoundland and Labrador has upcoming offshore energy work at Hebron, plus there is the multi-billion dollar Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador, on the lower Churchill River.
Of the 120 monthly Top 10 projects in 2012, Quebec accounted for 20 of them, or one-sixth. The largest was an iron ore mine for Acelor-Mittal Inc. near Sept-Rivieres, for $1.4 billion. More iron ore projects are planned in the north of the province. Aluminum plant upgrades and expansions will also be important for the province, once world demand lifts the price of the metal sufficiently.
Ontario accounted for 47 of the year's largest projects. Many of them were high-rise residential projects. The condo boom underway in Toronto has been the subject of much media attention. It is expected to moderate as 2013 unfolds.
One of the largest projects in Ontario was initiated early in the year, in January 2012. The Humber River Regional Hospital is a $300 million project involving 1.7 million square feet.
The PanAm Games athletes' village project in Toronto was a May 2012 start at three million square feet and $514 million. And in the final quarter of the year, Highway 407 East work was initiated by Infrastructure Ontario at a projected cost of $1 billion.
Manitoba was among the provinces with a major hospital project start in the year. There was the Women's Hospital redevelopment project for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority in November, at 385,000 square feet.
There was a project start in Saskatchewan in August that showcased a major unfolding story, the energy boom that's underway on account of shale rock reserves. The Bakken hydrocarbon field lies mainly in North Dakota, but also extends into Saskatchewan. Enbridge began a $550 million oil pipeline that will run from Steelman, Saskatchewan to Berthold, North Dakota.
As to be expected, Alberta was mainly about Oil Sands projects. The Jackfish 3 in situ project for Devon NEC Corp. ($1.2 billion), the Foster Creek SAGD project, Phase F, for Cenovus Energy at Cold Lake ($1 billion) and the Narrows Lake in situ SAGD project, Phases 1 to 3, also for Cenovus Energy ($2.4 billion), were among the 20 Top 10 mainly oil- and gas-related project starts in the province last year.
Also in Alberta, the Vantage pipeline, started in September, will carry liquefied ethane from North Dakota through Saskatchewan to Alberta.
The list of B.C.'s 27 projects among 2012's Top Ten lists was topped by Rio Tinto Alcan's aluminum smelter modernization for $3.3 billion, begun in March.
Other major projects starting in our most westerly province included condo towers, electric power transmission lines, health care structures and mining work. With respect to the latter, Tech Resources committed $475 million to its Highland Valley copper mine in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.
Mega resource projects were clearly important to overall starts in 2012. This trend is only likely to intensify in the years ahead.

Cigarettes valued at more than $153,000 seized in Hagerstown
Earlier this week, thanks to interstate agency cooperation, Comptroller Peter Franchot's field enforcement agents and the Maryland State Police were able to intercept and arrest, four people allegedly transporting cigarettes illegally across state lines. Agents and police seized nearly 26,000 packs of contraband cigarettes worth close to $154,000 during a stop on Interstate 81, south of Interstate 70 in Hagerstown. Along with the confiscation of cigarettes, agents also seized two cars used in the transport of the cigarettes and arrested four individuals involved in the July 10 operation.
"Without the help of Investigator Charles "Chuck" Howell with the Virginia's Attorney General's Office and Maryland State Police, we might have missed this opportunity to stop the illegal actions of these four individuals," said Comptroller Franchot, "Every smuggler caught is one more opportunity to crack down on illegal activity and I applaud the agencies involved for helping to aggressively uphold and enforce Maryland's tax laws."
Three suspects are being held in the Washington County Detention Center and a fourth was released on bond:
· Mohammad T. Issa, from College Point, NY, held on a $15,000 bond.
· Osama T. Issa, from Brooklyn, NY, held on a $10,000 bond.
· Hazim M. Abuhakmeh, from Brooklyn, NY, held on a $5,000 bond.
· Abdelaziz M. Abdelaziz, from Philadelphia, PA, was released after posting a $5,000 bond.
"Once again, this is a perfect example of why Maryland needs stronger punishments for cigarette smuggling," states the Comptroller. "The current penalties for cigarette smuggling do nothing to dissuade people from trying time and time again to transport cigarettes illegally. In many instances those that are arrested are repeat offenders, and that is inexcusable."
The current laws make Transportation of Contraband (Unstamped) Cigarettes in the state of Maryland a felony, which carries a $50 per carton fine and/or two years imprisonment; and the crime of Possession of Contraband Cigarettes is classified as a misdemeanor, carrying a $1,000 fine and/or imprisonment, not exceeding one year. The Comptroller Franchot supports harsher penalities and stiffer fines for both crimes.
All four individuals have been charged with transportation and possession of contraband cigarettes in the state of Maryland. Mr. Abuhakmeh and Mr. Abdelaziz were also charged with conspiracy to transport and possess contraband cigarettes in the state of Maryland.

EMEXIS WEBMAIL is a Webmail application based on SquirrelMail. SquirrelMail client is a complete Webmail system, but due to the concern of making it compatible with many browsers and systems, its interface has become a little impaired. EMEXIS WEBMAIL was developed with the intention of solving this deficiency. It comes with all functionality of the original Squirelmail, but with an interface that is much more friendly for the user. It mostly uses the mechanisms for handling messages from Squirrelmail.
The Blender-Mathutils module originated from Blender, where it has been used for some years in production as a utility module for use in areas including animation, games, and mesh manipulation. This differs from 'numpy' in that it is computer graphics focused, combining Matrix and Vector types with rotation classes, which is very useful for use with animation or anywhere Euler and Quaternion values are frequently used. This project is mainly a build system around the actively maintained mathutils code in Blender to allow non-Blender related projects to make use of it. A link to the Blender repository is used so that the source never gets out of sync.

Lee's looking up
Article Posted: 22nd April 2014
Lee Westwood gave another perfect example of why class is permanent and form temporary when romping to a seven-shot win in Kuala Lumpur.
Just as others were beginning to wonder if the former world number one would ever reach those dizzy heights again, the answer came dramatically and emphatically at the Maybank Malaysian Open.
What's more, Lee believes he can get back on top of the world again and belief is a huge quality to have in golf. He's done it once so he knows what it takes. And I'm not betting against it.
Only a last-hole double bogey by Danny Willett prevented an ISM 1-2-3 because the Yorkshireman dropped to fifth after his late blow with Louis Oosthuizen one of those to benefit so we at least had a 1-2.
Danny need not beat himself up for his 72nd-hole agony because he had a superb week in the heat of Malaysia and I am convinced it will not be long before he is lifting a trophy again.
Gregory Bourdy completed our quartet of top-20 finishers and I feel we will have as many if not more this week in China.
These are exciting times for all at ISM and I am sure I will be broadcasting more good news week after week as we head towards summer and hopefully some sunshine.... » More

Cholinergic Neurotransmission: Functional and Clinical AspectsEdited by
- S.-M. Aquilonius
- P.-G. Gillberg
This international forum, sponsored by the Nobel Foundation, focussed exclusively on cholinergic mechanisms and was inspired by the first meeting of its kind, organized by Professor Edith Heilbronn and her associates some 20 years ago.The Symposium `Cholinergic Neurotransmission: Functional and Clinical Aspects' took place on the Lidingö Island, Stockholm, in August 1989 and the resulting volume encompasses the contributions of a number of invited scientists prominent in the field of cholinergic neuroscience. The main objective was to provide a detailed overview of the cholinergic research-front of today with emphasis on the basic principles indicating the way to clinical applications.The chapters are organized in such a way as to guide the reader from molecular biology through basic cholinergic pharmacology into clinically oriented contributions that bear upon the number of diseases in which altered cholinergic function is pathophysiologically important, e.g. myasthenia gravis and myasthenic syndromes, disorders of movement and dementia as well as cholinergic mechanisms involved in the regulation of pain, mood and sleep.Additionally, a group of scientists provide a summary at the end of each section outlining future research prospects on cholinergic mechanisms in their specific areas of interest.

Looks like the script kitties just hit the message board software. Polk might have to upgrade it to a new version that patches the exploit. I doubt a hacker after cc would let you know they owned your system.
What fisch said. Most hacks are just exploits of forum code. Polk uses a completely different site for its online store so I wouldn't worry too much...
Bear in mind that this forum is one of those tertiary things to Polk and very likely isn't running on the latest and greatest code version because the person who administers it probably wears 17 or 18 different hats at the same time within Polk.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Pat Benatar
Benatar's sophomore effort, 1980's Crimes of Passion, more than delivered on the debut's promise and it's often considered to be the finest recording of her career. Spurred on by such classic rock radio standards as "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Treat Me Right," and "You Better Run," the album was certified platinum shortly after its release and Benatar became a certified arena headliner in the U.S. Benatar also became one of the most-played artists during MTV's early days, received several Grammy Awards around this time, and continued to enjoy massive hits and sold-out tours throughout the early to mid-'80s, including such albums as 1981's Precious Time, 1982's Get Nervous, 1983's Live from Earth, 1984's Tropico, 1985's Seven the Hard Way, and 1988's Wide Awake in Dreamland, plus the singles "Fire & Ice," "Promises in the Dark," "Shadows of the Night," "Love Is a Battlefield," "We Belong," and "Invincible." But by the end of the decade, it appeared as though Benatar had fallen of the face of the Earth as the hits seemed to dry up.
Benatar opted to shift musical gears and issue an album of blues and R&B, 1991's True Love, which failed to return the singer back to the top of the charts. Benatar returned back to her patented arena rock sound with such further studio releases as 1993's Gravity's Rainbow and 1997's Innamorata (although the latter of which was largely acoustic-based) and while the albums didn't exactly measure up to her earlier releases, both were solid efforts. The late '90s saw a pair of live archival releases hit record store shelves, 1998's 8-15-80 and 1999's The King Biscuit Flower Hour Live, in addition to countless hits collections (although the best of the bunch proved to be 1989's Best Shots, which remains a steady seller to this day). The singer began touring again by the middle of the decade (after taking a five-year hiatus from the road), co-headlining shows with REO Speedwagon, Fleetwood Mac, the Steve Miller Band, and Styx. She also continued to dabble in acting, appearing in the ABC Afterschool Special Torn Between Two Fathers and on various sitcoms. In August 2003, Benatar returned to recording with Go (Vanguard), her first studio LP since 1997's Innamorata. The LP revisited the arena rock/MOR sound that had defined Benatar's career, and was accompanied by an extensive tour. ~ Greg Prato & Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

It looks great!
It was exactly what we ordered and exactly what I expected.
Very responsive and recieved my order when it was promised
I liked the ability to customize it... although I didn't like the cost. It was pretty expensive so we had to limit our customization to control the costs. We would have liked to have been able to do the printing on the side of the pad of paper, in addition to the paper itself.
Typesetting was off in the front

Bubonic plague
|Bubonic plague
|Classification and external resources
An inguinal bubo on the upper thigh of person infected with bubonic plague. Swollen lymph glands (buboes) often occur in the neck, armpit and groin (inguinal) regions of plague victims
Bubonic plague is a zoonotic disease, circulating mainly in fleas on small rodents, and is one of three types of bacterial infections caused by Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis), that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Without treatment, the bubonic plague kills about two thirds of infected humans within four days.
The term bubonic plague is derived from the Greek word βουβών, meaning "groin." Swollen lymph nodes (buboes) especially occur in the armpit and groin in persons suffering from bubonic plague. Bubonic plague was often used synonymously for plague, but it does in fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections.
Bubonic plague—along with the septicemic plague and the pneumonic plague, which are the two other manifestations of Y. pestis—is commonly believed to be the cause of the Black Death that swept through Europe in the 14th century and killed an estimated 25 million people, or 30–60% of the European population.[1] Around the Mediterranean Region, summers seemed to be the season when the disease took place. While in Europe, people found the disease most occurring in the autumn.[2] Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose and some historians have seen this as a turning point in European economic development.[3][4]
Signs and symptoms
The most infamous symptom of bubonic plague is an infection of the lymph glands (lymphadenitis), which become swollen and painful and are known as buboes. After being transmitted via the bite of an infected flea the Y. pestis bacteria become localized in an inflamed lymph node where they begin to colonize and reproduce. Buboes associated with the bubonic plague are commonly found in the armpits, upper femoral, groin and neck region. Acral gangrene (i.e. of the fingers, toes, lips and nose), is another common symptom.
Due to its bite-based form of infection, the bubonic plague is often the first step of a progressive series of illnesses. Bubonic plague symptoms appear suddenly, usually 2–5 days after exposure to the bacteria. Symptoms include:
- Gangrene of the extremities such as toes, fingers, lips and tip of the nose.[5]
- Chills
- General ill feeling (malaise)
- High fever (39 °Celsius; 102 °Fahrenheit)
- Muscle cramps[6]
- Seizures
- Smooth, painful lymph gland swelling called a bubo, commonly found in the groin, but may occur in the armpits or neck, most often at the site of the initial infection (bite or scratch)
- Pain may occur in the area before the swelling appears
- Skin color changes to a pink hue in some very extreme cases
Other symptoms include heavy breathing, continuous vomiting of blood (hematemesis), aching limbs, coughing, and extreme pain. The pain is usually caused by the decay or decomposition of the skin while the person is still alive. Additional symptoms include extreme fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, lenticulae (black dots scattered throughout the body), delirium, and coma.
Two other types of Y. pestis plague are pneumonic and septicemic. Pneumonic plague, unlike the bubonic or septicemic, induces coughing and is very infectious, allowing it to be spread person to person.
Bubonic plague is an infection of the lymphatic system, usually resulting from the bite of an infected flea, Xenopsylla cheopis (the rat flea). In very rare circumstances, as in the septicemic plague, the disease can be transmitted by direct contact with infected tissue or exposure to the cough of another human. The fleas are often found on rodents such as rats and mice, and seek out other prey when their rodent hosts die. The bacteria began its life harmlessly living in the digestive tracts of mammals. The ability to propagate was dependent only upon its ability to travel from mammal host to mammal host. The bacteria remained harmless to the flea, allowing the new host to spread the bacteria. The bacteria form aggregates in the gut of infected fleas and this results in the flea regurgitating ingested blood, which is now infected, into the bite site of a rodent or human host. Once established, bacteria rapidly spread to the lymph nodes and multiply.
Y. pestis bacilli can resist phagocytosis and even reproduce inside phagocytes and kill them. As the disease progresses, the lymph nodes can haemorrhage and become swollen and necrotic. Bubonic plague can progress to lethal septicemic plague in some cases. The plague is also known to spread to the lungs and become the disease known as the pneumonic plague. This form of the disease is highly communicable as the bacteria can be transmitted in droplets emitted when coughing or sneezing.[citation needed]
Laboratory testing is required in order to diagnose and confirm plague. Ideally, confirmation is through the identification of Y. pestis culture from a patient sample. Confirmation of infection can be done by examining serum taken during the early and late stages of infection. To quickly screen for the Y. pestis antigen in patients, rapid dipstick tests have been developed for field use.[7]
Several classes of antibiotics are effective in treating bubonic plague. These include aminoglycosides such as streptomycin and gentamicin, tetracyclines (especially doxycycline), and the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin. Mortality associated with treated cases of bubonic plague is about 1–15%, compared to a mortality of 40–60% in untreated cases.[8]
People potentially infected with the plague need immediate treatment and should be given antibiotics within 24 hours of the first symptoms to prevent death. Other treatments include oxygen, intravenous fluids, and respiratory support. People who have had contact with anyone infected by pneumonic plague are given prophylactic antibiotics.[9] Using the broad-based antibiotic streptomycin has proven to be dramatically successful against the bubonic plague within 12 hours of infection.[10]
Early outbreaks
The first recorded epidemic ravaged the Byzantine Empire during the sixth century, and was named the Plague of Justinian after emperor Justinian I, who was infected but survived through extensive treatment.[11][12] The epidemic is estimated to have killed approximately 50 million people in the Roman Empire alone.[13] The historian Procopius wrote, in Volume II of History of the Wars, his encounter with the plague and the effect it had on the rising empire. In the spring of 542, the plague arrived in Constantinople, working its way from port city to port city and spreading through the Mediterranean, later migrating inland eastward into Asia Minor and west into Greece and Italy. Because the infectious disease spread inland by the transferring of merchandise through Justinian's efforts in acquiring luxurious goods of the time and exporting supplies, his capital became the leading exporter of the bubonic plague. Procopius, in his work Secret History, declared that Justinian was a demon of an emperor who either created the plague himself or was being punished for his sinfulness.[13]
Black Death
In the Late Middle Ages (1340–1400) Europe experienced the most deadly disease outbreak in history when the Black Death, the infamous pandemic of bubonic plague, hit in 1347, killing a third of the human population. It is believed that society subsequently became more violent as the mass mortality rate cheapened life and thus increased warfare, crime, popular revolt, waves of flagellants, and persecution.[14] The Black Death originated in or near China and spread from Italy and then throughout other European countries. Arab historians, Ibn Al-Wardni and Almaqrizi believed that origins of the Black Death started off in Mongolia. Later, it was proven that their thesis was correct, as Chinese records showed that the disease made a huge outbreak in Mongolia in the early 1330s.[15] Research published in 2002 suggests that it began in the spring of 1346 in the steppe region, where a plague reservoir stretches from the northwestern shore of the Caspian Sea into southern Russia. The Mongols had cut off the trade route, the Silk Road, between China and Europe which halted the spread of the Black Death from eastern Russia to Western Europe. The epidemic began with an attack that Mongols launched on the Italian merchant's last trading station in the region, Caffa in the Crimea.[10] In the autumn of 1346, plague broke out among the besiegers and from them penetrated into the town. When spring arrived, the Italian merchants fled on their ships, unknowingly carrying the Black Death. Carried by the fleas on rats, the plague initially spread to humans near the Black Sea and then outwards to the rest of Europe as a result of people fleeing from one area to another.
There were many ethno-medical beliefs of prevention methods for avoiding the Black Death. One of the most famous ideas was that by walking around with flowers in or around their nose people would be able to "ward off the stench and perhaps the evil that afflicted them. Since the people didn't have the knowledge to understand the plague, people believed the plague to be a punishment from God. The only way to be rid of the plague was to be forgiven by God.[16] One such method used was to carve the symbol of the cross onto the front door of a house with the words "Lord have mercy on us" near it.[17]
Pistoia, a city in Italy, even went as far as enacting rules and regulations on the city and its inhabitants to keep it safe from the Black Death. The rules stated that no one was allowed to visit any plague-infected area and if they did they were not allowed back into the city. Some other rules were that no linen or woollen goods were to be imported into the city and no corpses were to be buried in the city. However, despite strict enforcement of the rules, the city eventually became infected.[18] People who weren't infected with the plague, gathered in groups and stayed away from the sick. They ate and drank with limited food and water and weren't even allowed oral communication because merely talking with one another increased the chance of passing on the disease.[19]
While Europe was devastated by the disease, the rest of the world fared much better. In India, populations rose from a population of 91 million in 1300, to 97 million in 1400, to 105 million in 1500. Also sub-Saharan Africa remained largely unaffected by the plagues.[20]
Traditional treatment
Medieval doctors thought the plague was created by air corrupted by humid weather, decaying unburied bodies, and fumes produced by poor sanitation. The recommended treatment of the plague was a good diet, rest, and relocating to a non-infected environment so the individual could get access to clean air. This did help, but not for the reasons the doctors of the time thought. In actuality, because they recommended moving away from unsanitary conditions, people were, in effect, getting away from the rodents that harbored the fleas carrying the infection. However, this also helped to spread the infection to new areas previously non-infected.
Later outbreaks
The next few centuries were marked by several local outbreaks of lesser severity. The Great Plague of Seville (1647), the Great Plague of London (1665–1666), the Great Plague of Vienna (1679), Great Plague of Riga (1710) and the Great Plague of Marseille (1720), were the last major outbreaks of the bubonic plague in Europe.
The plague resurfaced in the mid-19th century; like the Black Death, the Third Pandemic began in Central Asia. The disease killed millions in China and India—mostly a British possession at the time—and then spread worldwide. The outbreak continued into the early 20th century. In 1897, the city of Poona (now Pune) in India was severely affected by the outbreak.
In 1899, the islands of Hawaii were also hit by the plague.[21] The first evidence of the disease was found in Honolulu's Chinatown on Oahu.[22] It was located very close to the island's piers, and rats in cargo ships from China were able to land on the Hawaiian islands unseen. As the rats, hosts for disease-carrying fleas, made their way deeper into the city, people started to fall ill. On December 12, 1899, the first case was confirmed. The Board of Health then quickly thought of ways to prevent the disease from spreading even further inland. Their solution was to burn down any buildings in Chinatown suspected of containing a source of the disease. On December 31, 1899, the board set the first fire. They had originally planned to burn only a few targeted buildings, and thought they could control the flames as each building was finished, but the fire got out of control, burning down untargeted neighboring buildings. The resulting fire caused many of Chinatown's homes to be destroyed and an estimated 4,000 people were left homeless.[23]
Australia suffered 12 major plague outbreaks between 1900 and 1925 originating from shipping.[24] Research by Australian medical officers Thompson, Armstrong and Tidswell contributed to understanding the spread of Yersinia pestis to humans by fleas from infected rats.[25]
In 1994, a plague outbreak in five Indian states caused an estimated 700 infections (including 52 deaths) and triggered a large migration of Indians within India as they tried to avoid the plague.
In 1994 and 2010 cases were reported in Peru.[26] In 2002, a couple from New Mexico was diagnosed while vacationing in New York City.[27] In 2010 a case was reported in Oregon, United States.[28]
In 2012, cases were reported in Oregon and Colorado,[29][30] including a 7-year-old girl who contracted bubonic plague while camping in southwest Colorado.[31]
In September 2012 a herdsman in China (Sichuan province, Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture) was reported to have died of the disease after finding a dead marmot and eating it.[32]
In 2012 there were 256 plague cases resulting in 60 dead in Madagascar and in October 2013 the ICRC warned that prisoners there were at a high risk and warned of the risk of an epidemic.[33]
In July 2013, following routine testing in and near Los Angeles, CA., health officials publicly confirmed that a squirrel had tested positive with bubonic plague in the Angeles National Forest near Wrightwood. As a precaution, portions of the area have been closed to camping. However, pedestrian traffic through the area continues. Hikers are advised to use insect repellent and ensure that any pets they may bring wear a flea collar.[34]
In August 2013, a boy died in Kyrgyzstan after being bitten by a flea, thought to be from an infected rodent. The bite occurred in the Sary-Dzhaz gorge on Lake Issyk-Kul's southern shore.[35]
In December 2013 there was an outbreak of the bubonic plague in a village in Madagascar.[36]
Biological warfare
Some of the earliest instances of biological warfare were said to have been products of the plague, as armies of the 14th century were recorded catapulting diseased corpses over the walls of towns and villages to spread the pestilence.
Later, plague was used during the Second Sino-Japanese War as a bacteriological weapon by the Imperial Japanese Army. These weapons were provided by Shirō Ishii's units and used in experiments on humans before being used on the field. For example, in 1940, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service bombed Ningbo with fleas carrying the bubonic plague.[37] During the Khabarovsk War Crime Trials, the accused, such as Major General Kiyashi Kawashima, testified that, in 1941, some 40 members of Unit 731 air-dropped plague-contaminated fleas on Changde. These operations caused epidemic plague outbreaks.[38]

These findings suggest that plague was imported to Europe on two or more occasions, each following a distinct route. These two clades are ancestral to modern isolates of Y. pestis biovars Orientalis and Medievalis.

The facility has been open for more than 20 years and has just been recently renovated.
The facility can house up to 46 people in their residential program. The addictive specialist tells 14 News most people get here once they have hit rock bottom, which was the case for one mother we spoke to who is now a recovering meth addict.
"I got in trouble for manufacturing methamphetamines," Tracey Woolsey said.
It was that wakeup call that finally got Woolsey help. After 23 years of using drugs, the first time she used meth was when she moved to Vanderburgh county to attend college.
"You could find it anywhere," Woolsey said. "I always thought I was having fun on it, but I never realized it was ruining my life, and it did, I pretty much lost everything."
Woolsey and her husband have two teenage kids now. She says she used drugs most of the first pregnancy with her daughter, but abstained during her second pregnancy, both of her children were born healthy.
"I wish I could have been there for my kids, but I can't change that," Woolsey told 14 News.
Although Woolsey was physically present and wired on meth, she knows mentally and emotionally, she wasn't there for her children.
"It got to where I was so bad on meth, I'd be in my bedroom or hiding and they would be in there own room. They could play, they had movies. My daughter at three years old could make her own bowl of cereal," Woolsey said.
In 2005, her kids moved out with her parents. But it wasn't until last summer she got help at Stepping Stone, by joining their residential program.
The hardest part of therapy Woolsey says was to acknowledge time lost.
"Getting back my feelings and my thoughts my emotions," Woolsey said.
Woolsey is now part of society. She has a job, goes to church, and is active in her children's lives. She is also happily married to the same man she used to do drugs with and fight with. They are both clean and living a happier life.
"My life has done a 360. I love my life today," Woolsey said.
